You guys are just 2 funny. When we lived in town I had a Cable modem, now that was fast. I used to love Kazaa and Napster, back when everything was free Well long story short, we got sick of living in town, so we bought 2.5 acres and built a new house about 3 yrs ago. We are only a few miles outside of town, but can't get Cable or DSL right now.
Fast forward to now, I called Qwest DSL and explained how many people out in our development and near developments want highspeed, basically about 20 homes right now. I have been working with a manager in the DSL area and they are going to place a "remote station" and change some cabling to give us DSL by the end of May.
ps Nick: I know I know I need to get the website updated with new pics of the construction, just been darn busy...

Just an update, have all of the priming done, and have started on the actual painting. For the theater area I am painting the back wall behind the screen, Dutch Boy "Leather Jacket Black" it was the blackest black I could find. The side walls and ceiling will be a darker blue color. The rest of the basement will have white ceilings, and not sure on the walls yet, probably a light tan or something.
I just installed some http://www.CableOrganizer.com raceways along the ceiling from my AV rack over to the ceiling mounted projector location. These are very low profile, and have adhesive backing, and are paintable. I will be able to run my component/DVI or HDMI cables this way. Also, since they have a plastic hinged bottom, I can always access the cables, or upgrade as technology changes.
Hope to get some pictures soon, so NickBuol will stop bugging me

Your telling me, I wish I could just snap my fingers and have it all done. I guess since I am doing pretty much everything myself I have an excuse.
On my way home to start painting again.
Any input out there on roller methods, for some reason I like to leave uneven patterns, streaks, or whatever you want to call them....I think what happens is I get some overlap onto an area I completed minutes before, once that dries you can tell where the overlaps are. I've tried the rolling in a N or M pattern, but still have issues.....

Use a good roller. EZ rollers are my fav. Several light coats (4-6), applied once the first coat is tacky, but not wet to the touch. No particular pattern at all.
